Part IIIIV (Lines 16-25)

Summary: The women, who desire him, understand him and are deemed worthy love-makers. He finds them completely equal and competent sexual partners. They can essentially carry their own weight in the bedroom. They are, “ultimate in their own right." Wants women like that and he refuses t let them go. Whitman I convinced he would do them good. He acknowledges one ultimate truth; man is made for woman and woman for man, not only for pleasure but for the sake of the world.

Commentary: Ahhh Woman for Man and Man for Woman. I agree with that, completely. I am for you, and you are for me, not only for our own sake, but for others' sakes..." Gay rights? I thought he was gay...? I mean I heard he was gay, not that it makes any difference to me, but if he's gay then...this poem...uhh shouldnt really apply? Oh yes, he not one for labels so maybe he likes both. "I draw you close to me, you women!" He is a walking contradiction so I am not surprised. Ha-ha. I do love how even when talking about sex, you take a deeper meaning from his writing than what he's actually talking about. I really hope these thoughts are coherent. If not, sorry. (:
